Replacing the studs coming out of the speedo/tach

When my bike went down, both studs holding the speedo in place broke away.  I managed to take one of the studs holding the tach in place, but now I've only got one stud holding both.  Also, the plastic that holds all 4 studs has cracked and is almost barely there unless I go and glue them in.  Does anyone know where I can get these?  Looking at the OEM parts catalog it looks like they are included with speedo/tach.

If that doesn't work and I need to end up buying a new speed and/or tach how would I go about putting my old miles on the new one?

Worst comes to worst, go custom!

Some manufacturers of aftermarket gauges will put your miles on a new gauge upon request.

They are molded into the white buckets. Not really a replaceable on it's own item usually.

Epoxy something in there or get some  replacement gauges.  Maybe buy a dented ugly set and swap the white buckets...(Not too hard).

The black buckets...new from the dealer is usually the route you have to go unless you can glue up your own...once in awhile you'll find  them for sale but not often.

Don't really want to go custom because my time with this bike has another 4-6 months.  I've got my heart set on upgrading to a Street Triple R and don't want to spend an insane amount of money that could be saved for a down payment.
